Buzz! Buzz!

On top of the stone stairs, following Cang Yun's successful breakthrough, Zhou Xian'er and the others withdrew their minds once more and focused on climbing up. After just an hour, the three of them had finally completed the stone stairs's trial in succession.

Seeing that, Cang Yun did not delay any further, the source power around him whistled, and his body also ran towards the finishing point.

Ever since he broke through to the second realm, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. The pressure on the stone stairs was no longer something that he could withstand.

Thus, another hour had passed. As expected, Cang Yun had also climbed onto the finishing point of the stone table.

"Spirit-Cleansing Pill."

In the next moment, looking at the rewards on his palm, Cang Yun nodded his head in satisfaction.

This Spirit Cleansing Pill was also an extremely valuable Pills. It could help a martial artist quickly enter the state of mind as one, and as long as the effects of the pill remained, that state could be maintained. It would be of great help to martial artists when comprehending cultivation techniques or Origin Skills.

After placing the Pills into his storage ring, a fragrant wind blew over, followed by a melodious voice that drifted into his ears from behind.

"Congratulations Big Brother Cang Yun for successfully breaking through the second layer of the secret scripture."

Cang Yun turned around, and upon seeing Zhou Xian'er's beautiful figure, he smiled and nodded his head, while at the same time, a warm feeling arose in his heart. Although the latter had said those words in blessings, her demeanor and tone were filled with concern.

Weng! *

Just as Cang Yun was about to speak, a tremor suddenly came from the space not far away, and then, an old white figure walked out from the shaking area.

Seeing that, Cang Yun's expression changed, his body became more tense, and he turned to look, a cautious look in his eyes.

"Who are you?" Zhou Jun's face was also on guard, as he asked the white robed old man sternly.

"Heh, you little kid from Zhou Family, your temper is not small at all." The white robed old man looked at Zhou Jun, his aged face had an unhappy look, following that, a huge aura surged out from his body, oppressing towards.

Facing such a huge pressure, Zhou Jun's expression changed greatly, as though he could not resist at all, and he was forced to take a few steps back, his face extremely pale.

At this time, the white robed elder finally retracted his aura, stared at Zhou Jun, and said indifferently: "If it wasn't for the fact that I promised your ancestor of the Zhou Family not to interfere in this clan's trial, your disrespectful tone just now would have been enough to kill you."

Hearing that, everyone became silent, from the aura just now, it could be seen that the old man in front of them was extremely powerful, adding on his not so good temper, no one dared to make a move, and Zhou Jun drooped his head, not daring to even breathe, he was obviously completely intimidated.

Seeing this, the white robed old man nodded his head in satisfaction. He then said with a faint smile: "However, all of you do not need to be nervous. I am the spirit of the Old Tower.

"Spirit of the Old Tower?" Cang Yun's eyes became serious, and after seeing the elder's transparent body, he nodded his head.

Every single place in the Ancient Realm had a tribe of their own, and these tribe grounds were all filled up by a strong object, so they were called clan artifacts. For example, the 'Flaming Sun Old Tower' was the clan artifact of the Zhou Family, and the clan artifact was a Divine Weapon, while the Divine Weapon had a soul, so the white robed old man called himself the spirit of the Old Tower.

As he thought about it, Cang Yun felt at ease with the white robed old man's strength. Any divine weapon that had the qualifications to be the clan elder's weapon would definitely be an extremely powerful existence. With the clan elder's own strength as support, the artifact spirit's strength would at least reach the level of a Void God Stage warrior.

"Could it be that there is something different about the seventh stage of the trial when senior specifically made an appearance?" Just then, Zhou Xian'er carefully opened her mouth and asked. She had high hopes this time, and was thus extremely concerned about the trial.

Hearing that, the old man was about to answer, but when his gaze landed on Zhou Xian'er, his calm expression couldn't help but change, and a strange look appeared in his eyes: "After so many years, Zhou Family has finally produced someone with the same physique as that old man. I never thought that after coming out for a stroll when I have nothing better to do, I would be able to encounter such a pleasant surprise."

Immediately after, the aged eyes carefully sized up Zhou Xian'er, and only then did she nod her head in satisfaction: "Your aptitude is not bad, looks like the old fellow's inheritance will finally be lost."

"Thank you for your praise, senior." Zhou Xian'er's eyes revealed joy as he bowed. To be able to receive such an evaluation from the old man, his confidence in passing on his inheritance had increased by a lot.

"There's nothing to thank me for. I'm just trying to make a point." The old man seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Xian'er, as he changed his attitude, and laughed gently: "But I have to remind you, that old fellow was extremely arrogant before we met, so the inheritance he left behind is not easy to obtain. Even though you have a great advantage, you cannot let your guard down, and I cannot interfere in this clan ground trial, if not I can help you out a bit.

"Senior, thank you for your reminder. Junior will do his best." Zhou Xian'er's face was determined, and smiled faintly.

Compared to the happy conversation that was over here, Zhou Jun, who was nearby, had a somewhat ashen face. Especially when he heard the old man's evaluation of the inheritance, the hatred in his heart grew even higher. Even though his heart was filled with intense hatred, he knew that this was not the time to display it. Hence, on the surface, he did not attract anyone's attention.

"Alright, let's not talk too much. Now let me tell you about the seventh trial."

After talking with Zhou Xian'er, the old man calmed himself down and lightly stroked his beard: "For this stage, I am prepared to give you guys a great opportunity, but whether or not you guys can grab hold of it, will all depend on yourselves."

After he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, the old man waved his hand and a black light flashed. Immediately, a large blank picture scroll appeared in front of everyone.

"This is a Dao manual, a treasure created by an ancient supreme elder using his own Tao technique. This treasure has a special function, and that is to be able to fuse any two Origin Skills that do not exceed the Spiritual Tier High Rank, forming an even more powerful new Origin Skill."

"This is your trial. The time limit is three days. Everyone must create a new Origin Skill and learn it. The successful person will pass the trial and be eliminated if they fail."

The old man gave a general explanation of the rules of the trial. Then, he glanced at everyone and asked, "These are the rules of the trial. Do you have any other questions?"

After listening to the old man's story, everyone had a look of contemplation in their eyes, but no one replied immediately. They all understood that this piece of information was of great importance.

The more powerful an Origin Skill was, the more it would increase one's battle prowess. If what the old man said was true, then this scroll in front of them could fuse any two Origin Skills together to form an even more powerful Origin Skill. This enticement was enough to make anyone envious.

Three days was not too long, and to comprehend a high grade Origin Skill in such a short period of time required an extremely monstrous talent in order to do so. On this point, the crowd was not so confident, as once they lost, they would be eliminated.

"Senior, as long as you learn any two Origin Skills, you will be able to pass the test?" Regardless of rank? " After figuring out the crux of the matter, Zhou Jun couldn't help but ask. Even though he knew that the old man in front of him was a little displeased with him, in order to complete the trial, he could only muster the courage to clarify the rules.

"That's right. I've said it before, this stage is a chance for you. As for whether you want to grasp it or not, that is up to you. Your choice is the key to determining your harvest." The old man nodded and replied in an indifferent manner.

Hearing this, everyone completely understood the purpose of this trial. It was to let everyone choose their own trial difficulty. If one wanted to obtain more, they would have to face greater risks. Of course, the most important factor was one's talent and comprehension ability.

"The design of this trial is quite ingenious." After clearing his mind, Cang Yun exclaimed in his heart. He understood that although this trial seemed simple, to the point where almost anyone could pass it, the difficulty of concealment was the greatest, because seduction was sometimes even scarier than despair. It could cause one to unknowingly fall into a trap.

In the next moment, the old man seemed to have sensed the fearful emotions of the crowd. After musing for a moment, he said: "How about this, in order to make this trial more interesting. As long as one of you is able to reach a degree that satisfies me, I will give him an additional pretty good reward."

"Additional rewards?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Although the elder did not specify what the reward was, strength determined one's eyesight. Since everyone said it was a 'good' item, it was likely quite extraordinary. This caused everyone's emotions to once again surge.

However, in regards to this, Cang Yun was slightly pleasantly surprised, but quickly calmed down. Although this seemed to be one benefit after another, the reality was that there were layers of enticement, and if he could not resist it and made a choice that exceeded his capabilities, then the consequences would be self-evident.

"Do you still have any questions?"

The old man glanced over everyone. After seeing that no one had moved, he nodded and waved his hand: "Since that's the case, then the seventh trial will now begin!"

Weng! *

As the old man's voice faded, the Dao scroll floating in the air suddenly trembled. Following which, a powerful suction force descended upon everyone, instantly sucking them into the space within the Dao scroll.
